Yeah you're all sorts of fun. I do regret encountering you. Going to block to make sure that does not happen again.

LOL chromium is not important, it isn't. I know you want it to be, but it's not. There are plenty of alternatives out there, Firefox being the most obvious one. Really, stop simping for Daddy Google. You sound like an edgy teen.

It's pretty clear that you don't understand what antitrust is about. I might suggest you read the Wikipedia article before commenting further. Also you should maybe take a moment to consider why you are taking the side of Google, a terrible and abusive company worth hundreds of billions of dollars. They don't need your support.

That isn't the point, is it? Why does the government and the people care about the profits of some company?

I'm afraid that this is a terrible take. There is nothing to stop them from making it into a separate company. It would break the monopoly because the same people making the browser won't be the ones earning the ad revenue.

And for a linguist the question is really whether there are native speakers who consider it correct. Here there are millions who say yes.

I think you’d call this elision. Assume that the phrase is originally “the car needs to be washed” but you cut out “to be”, making it into a shorter form. It’s pretty common in language to shorten things to make it faster to speak. Think of the endless contractions in English or perhaps leaving part of a sentence completely unspoken because the content is easily assumed by the interlocutors.

Don't kid yourself--it will eventually become more like Twitter once the entire planet onboards. Decentralization will help a lot, though.

It's cute how you made it personal for no reason.

Funny enough I learned about it in a linguistics class from a professor out of Michigan. Never heard the concept before and I think a lot of people had their minds blown.

To go after a loose group of reporters from different countries?

They aren’t in the United States. This lawsuit is in France.
